We aren't dead.

We are just hibernating. More to come.

Goodbye,old friend

This is the last post that will have such craptastic photos! I ordered a nice new camera,yay!I wrote a whole post about that here.

So anyways, to be honest...this has been my style as of late:

I've been SUPER.DOOPER.Busy.It's ridonkulous,but in a good way. So I don't leave the house much...and I pretty much kick it in shorts and a tee,with uggs or slippers,most of the time.


Then If I have to make a post office or bank run I switch out the shorts for jeans and the uggs for heels,add a jacket and my Louis...and BAM. Somehow my ratty bun no longer says "I haven't had time to brush my hair today"...but starts saying " Yes,I AM too cool to brush my hair.Messy is chic." And somehow my crappy old tshirt of the day becomes 'distressed" and "vintage".




These were the heels I went with today.They are Express ( I think...)and in case you can't tell what that lil brass doodad on the side is...It's A Bee! Maybe I'm weird, but it thrills me that the buckle is not a boring typical buckle..but a buckle BEE:)


Yeah.Random self-portrait in the car window.




I made this ring out of a brooch I found at a thrift store.Cute,no?


And I made this necklace...more like it will be in my etsy shop soon!


Stayed tuned for actually GOOD outfit posts starting sometime next week!

lust for plush...

You may ignore this post if you like...but it is a style blog...and I need the visual aid to figure out the final touches to style my living room! If you have any thoughts please pipe in!

So here is the room. The color of the couch is actually a pale minty/seafoam green...the picture kind of lies...and the pillows are white with black floral.The whole room is basically chill and neutral..with little pops of black and red. So,which rug shall go under that coffee table?


and here are the rug choices. Now that we have a nice new couch I can finally pick one for sure!


$129.99
Keeps the chill vibe..and is stain resistant.But I can't decide if the gray would seem dingy next to all the white...
____________________________________________________________________________________________

$299
matches the curtains..still pretty chill...but will the beige clash with the white?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

$99.95
Seems like the easiest,most obvious choice...I do love minimal. But...we have a new puppy and a big chocolate lab...am I silly for wanting white carpet?
______________________________________________________________________________________________

149.00
And this pushes all the right buttons..mostly black and white...only a little grey...but if I'm gonna do this much white should I just go for it with the shag?

Ohhhhh decisions,decisions.

How Wonderful Life Is Now That You're In The World

This is my style as of late - laid back and don't really bother with what others think!

SNAPSHOT:

Listening: "Chicago" the musical, Neil Young, Tears for Fears, David Bowie

Reading: "Valley of the Dolls", my Employment Law textbook.

watching: a lot of "That 70's Show" re-runs, because I am not home enough to watch other things.

wearing: a pair of tan & yellow Sperry boat shoes, skinny jeans, lace embroidered tshirt, flannel shirt -very 1994 meets 2012.

Wanting: money to decorate my new apartment! More on that later.

Plans of the day: I'm currently in class (I know, I know, slap my wrists), but I'm going to go study, meet with a study group, go to work and then - drinks? Dancing? Dinner? who knows?!

Searching For a Heart of Gold

For your viewing pleasure, here are some snaps from the night of my 21st. It was a supreme night that ended with Heather and I in my bed at 5am having deep conversations about life, love, and the universe (at least I think).

(my feeble attempt at trying to do 21... it was backwards)

another bestie, Megan! More on her later. She's pretty rad.

I've been really into coloring lately. One of theses days I will finish the Indie Rock coloring book!

SNAPSHOT:

Listening: Broken Bells, Belle & Sebastian, random mixes that I have found recently.

Reading: "Money" by Martin Amis. It feel appropriate - he sounds as equally lost as I feel these days.

watching: "Mad Men" - STILL, a documentary on Hitler and Stalin, "I Love Lucy".

wearing: PJ's right now, but earlier I wore black flats from Target, a pair of grey Old Navy skinny jeans, and an old Target shirt that says Amsterdam on it. I was trying to keep it casual and cool, just like the weather.

Wanting: a cup of tea, an eyebrow wax, some time with friends that I haven't seen in awhile. Also, I'm really tired of feeling bad due to allergies. Come on, October!

Plans of the day: I went to class, took my car to the shop, and then had a glorious afternoon nap. Then, class again, apartment viewing, and general family times. Nothing extrodinary, but it was still a rather nice day.

Is it really September?

I guess it is...I love fall ( and fall fashion!) as much as the next girl..but I really am a summer person.I love the heat,swimming,waterparks...dresses...all that crap.I am so sad to see it slipping away...and I've been trying to console myself with the thought that at least our utility bill will be cheaper.

So anywho, here is what I wore the other night...trying to be fallish with my colors but still be comfortable in the still very hot South.



Dress and necklace:Hedda.
Tshirt: Target






Shoes: Splash. These were given to me by a friend when I was like,14 or so...and she had them for quite a while before that. They have held up pretty good I'd say!

Slave bracelet: A lovely hemp artist at the Flying Monkey sold it to me:)

Nails: I have had an obsession with glue on nails lately. I can't afford acrylics, and my natural nails don't grow ,really. So glue it is! But this week's selection sucks.Last week's nails were from THE DOLLAR STORE, and were sooo good. They held up all week,the color stayed,the glue didn't show up all bubbly under them...now these are "Fashion Diva Nails" from target..and the first day I broke the thumbnail off(booooo. I put it back on for pics though.) and now,3 days in...the color is all chipped off and I am missing the one from my left ring finger too.I'm going to try the other brands they have...but I have a feeling I may stick with the $store ones!
(rant over.)

Now, as promised,some info on the train collage.
This was the most interesting thing I found. It's a relative of the artist, L.Kersch. Google him to see more of his work!

Now I'm off to finish adding more things to my shops. they all have new merch this week!!

Endless Salad and Endless Summer

So, Heather lied, because the next post is going to be just a text post!

Heather and I had a girls lunch today and ate endless salad and drank peach bellinis. The alcohol content was low, but the lunch was superb. Unfortunately, there are no pictures, because neither of us were feeling that spiffy and just wanted to have some girl time. We will eventually get our act together, but in the meantime, here is a Becky snapshot!

SNAPSHOT:

Listening: Green Day, International Superhits, and the Beatles. Always.

Reading: "Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk, "Lullaby" by Chuck Palahniuk, and a bunch of Management textbooks. Who would have thought that managers have so many things to learn?

watching: "Mad Men", "The Office", "Weeds", and infomercials.

wearing: a black skirt and a green top, complete with peacock necklace. I had to keep it ultra conservative today, because I had to go to a viewing for my bosses' dad. :-(

Wanting: my own apartment, a great dane OR french bulldog, to do good on my interviews tomorrow.

Plans of the day: I went to class, met Heather for lunch, went to the viewing, stopped by ghetto gas station to buy tea, went to Heather's, went to class, came home, watched Mad Men, went to eat with the family and am now watching the Office. SO BUSY.
